Fear of Socialism.

Many people in the U.S. have a fear of socialism. They confuse it with totalitarianism. If we had a true democracy they would not have to worry about it. As is we have an oligarchy not a true democracy. The country is run by the ultra-rich. lobbyists and big corporations. True democratic socialism would be a vast improvement. The rights of all people would need to be protected. One of the basic building blocks of this country was the freedom of religion. This does not mean that people can use their religious convictions to discriminate. People tend to forget that among the original rights was the right to pursue happiness. Either they forget that, or they want to define how others can legally pursue happiness. This country is supposed to be governed according to the U.S. Constitution, not the Bible. The constitution can be amended. Many people remember this when it is a change they want, but when they do not want to change something or are against a new law they claim it is unconstitutional. It is definitely time for revolutionary change in this country.

Many interesting points were made in "Monty Python's Life of Brian." How could Jesus have spoken to crowds of 5000 people? They would not have been able to hear him. There were sound systems, and they were outside. This makes no sense.
